Back in Black (Hog) 5k

Road racing is back! Celebrate with the Back in Black (Hog) 5K! back for the 3rd (nonconsecutive) time, come enjoy a free beer on us!

IMPORTANT: We are very aware of the concerns of COVID-19. The brewery has a large, open parking lot. We require masks at all times, except when actually racing, or taking a swig of your drink!

To comply with social distancing, the start of the race will be rolling. You can start your run any time between 9am-10:30am. This will be able to limit traffic at the start line to individuals, or small groups of 5 or less.

The course is open Road. There will be traffic. Please be cautious and run as far to the side as you can! 

Once you arrive at the brewery, there will be plenty of parking and space to stretch out before taking a brief path through the woods to the race start. The race itself is along the Larkin State Park trail. It is a very smooth, packed dirt and cinder path, much like a Rail Trail.

After the race, enjoy a free beer on us, along with a delicious LOCAL food truck!
